The biggest thing I took away from this episode is that “80% of our motivation is derived from our expectation.” As I look back on why I procrastinate with certain projects, this quote makes it pretty clear that I don’t have the “expectation” of success. I guess the real question at this point is how do I re wire my brain to “expect” to succeed. As always, awesome episode Lewis! As an athlete, this episode really resonated with me.

“The Mind Navigates the Body” is just such a powerful thing to internalize. This is a lesson that needs to be revisited all the time because it is easy to forget, yet helps in every interaction we deal with.

Biggest take away for me was the idea of a PreTraumatic Stress Disorder. I’m going to be working with people who may potentially be suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder so this is something that I will be keeping in mind with them and it’s something that I wouldn’t have thought of before.

I don’t know, I have never got over this.I am constantly feeling insecure, so my eyes were always peaking at others. It bothers me because I can’t focus. Maybe the best way for me to conquer that is a fight, a confrontation against the powerful.

Another great interview, LewisHowes. This interview reinforces the fact that no one is without fear.

Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. Rather, it’s the mastery of fear.

Without fear, we can’t have courage. We cannot act courageous in any situation unless we have something to protect, something to honor, something to prove, or something to commit to. Fear is a call to action and that action should be courageous.
